Treitz's hernia, also known as paraduodenal hernia, is a rare condition requiring surgical treatment due to a high risk of obstruction. This review covers its embryology, anatomy, imaging, and surgical management.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Anatomy
Abdominal Imaging

Background:

Paraduodenal hernias, specifically Treitz's hernia, are uncommon congenital anomalies.
They originate in peritoneal folds near the ligament of Treitz.

Observation:

Two cases of Treitz's hernia are presented from the authors' institution.
Clinical presentations include acute small bowel obstruction, bowel ischemia, or chronic abdominal pain.

Findings:

Treitz's hernia carries a significant lifetime risk (50%) of developing bowel obstruction.
Surgical intervention is the recommended treatment modality.

Implications:

Understanding the embryology and anatomy is crucial for diagnosis.
